I love it again!! The last few episodes have been so good, and they even brought back the shapeshifters! Can't wait to see what happens next, although I am hoping it doesn't take 3-4 more seasons.

Yeah wow, Fox really turned this series back around. It's rare- especially for a Fox show- that one in such a decline makes such a comeback. All-in-all this season has been pretty good, and this was a really good episode.

Season 3 is far-and-away the best in my opinion, though others will tell you 2, and a good case can be made for either. I think the standalones in 3 are slightly better and thus push it over the top...I fall in the "this all might be very good if I had any faith it would be followed up on and didn't believe the show was being made up as it goes along with little effort paid to making it into a cohesive arc" camp. It is impossible for me to watch the show without this bias, because I've been burned so often before...
Oh, I liked tonight's episode right up until the end with its

What did the lump on the back of Dogett's fake friend's neck mean? -- is he an alien, is he an abductee, I can't seem to pinpoint its meaning and I have been watching X-Files since the show started.

Like a dumba$$ I taped the wrong channel last night, while I was watching the Sopranos, so I missed it. I still can't figure out what happened from this thread, though. I was actually looking for a spoiler.

Not the best, but ruins the whole episode for you.

I really enjoyed last night's X-Files episode, which featured an ambulatory Fox Mulder. Let's face it, without Mulder's presence on the X-Files, this show is just a shell of its former glory. I'm looking forward to the next 5 episodes with plenty of anticipation.
Do you think they'll be giving "Rosemary's Baby" a run for its money when Scully finally gives birth?
I'm thinking Scully gives birth to Mulder (the current Mulder might be a pod person). Now wouldn't that be a mind bender.
Mulder and Frohike's hug was really funny.
I can't believe how big Scully is with the pregnancy.
Finally we see that Doggett has been fed information by a pod person.
If Duchovny doesn't come back next season, they should just shelve the X-Files, he's the heart and soul of the show, as the past 10 episodes of this season have proven out.

Definitly one of the better eps to come along in a while. I loved the way Mulder and Doggett played off of each other. Also, I think that Doggett does not like being played the way he was.
I believe the lump in the back of his friend's neck indicates that he is an alien who has been replaced, just like Billy Miles.

Pure speculation here, but I have a hunch that the black FBI director (Hirsh?) is an alien. That would explain why he's so bent against keeping Mulder of the X-files and eventually closing it. Maybe he's in charge of the invasion. It's a long shot, but I could see it happening.

josh - I knew there was something I didn't like about kirsch, besides he's a dork. But at one point the smile he gave reminded me of the one that Billy Miles gave to Scully last week. You may have hit something on that one.

I don't think Kirsh has been replaced, but he sure as hell knows about it the way he's acting. I think that seeing Mulder put a bullet in his forehead would be one of the best moves the Xfiles has taken in a long time since he is by far the biggest b*tch on the show.

She must be giving birth to an alien, as she had the longest first trimester ever known to man.

I agree. She spent the entire first season not showing at all, and now suddenly she looks 8 months pregnant?

The question I have is this: has Doggett's informant been on the show previously? He looks familiar (other than as the bodyguard in that 80s classic "My Bodyguard"), but I want to know whether that particular character has played a significant role in the "X-Files" mythology previously.
Anyone? Bueller?

As X-Files episodes go, this one was fair at best. Mulder seems to acting like a bit of a jerk, IMO. Perhaps this is intentional, and to make his full departure from the show easier to bear. Doggett remains polite, concerned, steadfast--not in control, but not being shoved around, either.
Anyone else notice how the Lone Gunmen appear to be a lot more competent on the X-Files than on their own show?

Don't you people think it's a little strange how blase the FBI's resident cynics (Skinner, Doggett, Hersh) are about Mulder's return. THE MAN WAS DEAD AND BURRIED FOR THREE MONTHS!!!! Everyone's acting like he's just a returning pain-in-the-ass. Only Scully and Mulder seem remotely interested in this development. Isn't that a little wierd?

Three months passed? I thought it was only a week.
Actually since three months passed between the burial of Mulder and his rescusitation, Scully is in about her 6th or 7th month of pregnancy. She's showing just enough.
